Spring will soon be here. People are celebrating the Lunar New Year. Do you see a brighter future in 2021?Without a doubt, 2020 was a challenging year for most. Besides lockdowns, many companies let employees work from home permanently. When many business activities were put on a break and supply chains were interrupted, the global economy collapsed. COVID-19's impact on the hospitality and tourism industry has been devastating and unprecedented.How tough was it in 2020?The aviation industry
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, global air traffic dropped from 4.5 billion in 2019 to 1.8 billion in 2020. The financial loss to the industry was $370 billion. Additionally, airports and air navigation service providers reported a loss of $115 billion and $13 billion, respectively. In the U.S., the six largest airlines lost $35 billion in 2020.Hotels
The American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) estimated that COVID-19's impact on the travel industry in 2020 was about nine times of that from 9/11. Hotel room revenue was cut in half, from $167 billion to $85 billion. Hotels were running at about 44% occupancy in 2020, down from 66% in 2019, although extended-stay hotels and the home-sharing sector seemed to be more resilient during this pandemic.STR, a leading provider for data benchmarking, analytics, and marketplace insights for the lodging industry, reported a decline of 84.6% in U.S. hotels' gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR). In 2019, U.S. hotels were running at $245.10 in total revenue per available room and $94.72 in GOPPAR. Such numbers went off the clip to $88.90 and $14.62 in 2020, respectively.Restaurants
The restaurant industry ended in 2020 with about $659 billion in total sales, $240 billion below what the National Restaurant Association estimated for the year before the pandemic. Fast-food or quick-service restaurants, as well as restaurants shifting to curbside pickup and delivery services, seemed to do fine.The new year brings hopes to the industry

Answer 3

It seems like the assignment is asking you to summarize the article into two paragraphs.
You can start by trying to determine the main points of the article. It seems like the main idea of the article is describing different ways that 2020 was a challenging year, particularly with regard to business.
So, that would probably be the focus of the summary.
The article goes into a lot of detail about how COVID affected different industries with many figures and statistics to back up these points. You don't need to include all of these in your summary, as long as you can convey generally the negative effect that COVID had on these industries throughout 2020

Answer 4

Reading through the article again, I notice there's another side to it; on the one hand the article talks about how 2020 has been hard on businesses, but there's also the question of hope for the new year: will things get better moving forward?
Actually, that could be a way for you to organize the 2-paragraph summary, if you like: The first paragraph could cover how 2020 negatively impacted businesses, and the second paragraph could address how things might get better (or not) in the coming year?
